Night 3: The Indifferent Cao Ying (5)
Zhang He's presence made Sun Sheng nervous, and he immediately ordered most of the troops on Xiaozhou to be transferred to the west to defend. And Zhang He naturally discovered Sun Sheng's flagship, and secretly laughed in his heart.
Jiangzhongzhou is an alluvial island, the central part of the island is a huge reef, from the inside to the outside layer of stones, pebbles and silt, the whole is olive-shaped, long from east to west and narrow from north to south.
The eastern end of Jiangzhongzhou is the lower reach, and sailing against the current is not an ordinary loss in a water battle, so it is not suitable for landing operations. Although the western end is located upstream, it is not possible to deploy troops due to the terrain, and it is also not a good place for landing operations.
In fact, if it weren't for the coming of the autumn flood, Zhang He would definitely not have used the west as a breakthrough. But even if he personally went to the west to direct the beach rush operation at this time, it was still a method agreed in advance with Huang Zhi, Sima Fuqiang, and Zhang Wei to attack the west. The real weakness of this narrow continent lies in the waist and abdomen in the north-south direction, and the East China Sea team is quietly approaching Jiangzhongzhou with another army.
The north side of Xiaozhou is facing Gangneung City, which is the main gate of Shuizhai, which has always been heavily guarded. Although most of the troops have been transferred by Sun Sheng at this time, they still retain a certain amount of defense strength. If the East China Sea team launched an attack from this direction at this time, as long as it was slightly delayed by the defenders in this direction, the large army would be able to reinforce this place in time, which can be said to be a small chance, so the East China Sea team naturally would not choose this direction.
On the other side of Jiangzhongzhou is the back gate of the Dongwu Water Village, because it is facing the direction of the mainland and Zhuge Jin's reinforcements, Sun Sheng does not think that the Cao army dares to attack from this direction. Not to mention the risks that Cao Jun had to take to go around the big circle, the speed of the troops on the land of Jiangzhongzhou alone was much higher than the maneuverability of the boats on the water. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the surprise attack on the East Gate Dock is simply not worth the loss, and it is not considered at all.
But the current situation is completely different, Zhang He successfully broke through the dock in the upper reaches of the west, attracting all Sun Sheng's attention, at this time, the Eastern Wu army can leave some troops at the main gate of the water village is already quite vigilant, how can you still take care of the direction of the back door.
The East China Sea Team diverted from the flotilla of Zhang He upstream to the west, quietly disappeared into the night, and made a roundabout detour to the south of Jiangzhongzhou. Under the dual effects of Sima Fuqiang's "night vision" and "climbing high and overlooking", he saw the situation at the back door of the water village from a distance.
There was only one light boat in the dock for communication, which was tethered to the post of the dock by a cable, and it seemed that it was about to break free at any moment as the turbulent river swayed innocently. In addition, there were two ships that had been sunk by wooden stakes, and the sailors on them had long since abandoned their ships and landed.
One of the two watchtowers on the dock had broken one of its supports and had long since collapsed due to loss of balance. The other one is no better, due to the rising water level, it makes a creaking sound under the impact of the river, and it is already crumbling.
The soldiers of the patrol did not dare to stay on it, but retreated to the shore in the distance. But even the second line of defense on the shore had already been flooded by the river, so they could only retreat to the ground farther away, monitoring the dark surface of the river from afar. As for what kind of effect can be achieved, these soldiers don't care so much.
Sima Fuqiang had enough eyesight and counted carefully, at this time there were only about 100 Dongwu soldiers stationed on the shore, led by two captains. The success or failure of this beach-grabbing lies in how long it will take them to destroy the defenders on the shore, as long as they can take the beachhead before Sun Sheng returns to help, Jiangzhongzhou will be in Cao's pocket.
Although the defenders were small in number and abandoned the defense of the dock, it did not mean that the attacker could easily seize the beachhead. At the top of the dock are hung a dead wind lantern, which can be seen from a certain distance as long as a ship is near. In this way, the Soochow naval army was able to make defensive preparations in time and notify the large forces concentrated upstream to come to the rescue.
According to Sima Fuqiang's judgment, if they could not take the beachhead within five minutes, they would inevitably fall into the same bitter battle as the upstream direction of the west, which was not the result they wanted, so the way of righteousness was not advisable.
After some urgent consultation on board, the three stinkers reached an agreement, and several members of the East China Sea Team carried out a surprise attack, opening up an open space on the beachhead, and then the main force launched a strong attack. The success rate of such a combat method will be much higher, but the dreamers who rush to the beach will be a little dangerous.
However, according to Sima Fuqiang's observation, there are only two captains among these 100 people, which is equivalent to two C-rank dream people, and the pressure on the Donghai team is not too big, after all, more than half of their team members have reached this rank. At that time, as long as these two people are handed over to Zhang Wei and Wanyue to deal with, there should be no major problems.
The only difficulty was that the water had to be launched and swam in a place where the lights outside the dock were out of reach, otherwise the target of the ship would be too big and it would inevitably be discovered. Fortunately, Li Sha is the only one in the East China Sea team who can't water, and the rest are almost all children who grew up on the coast of the East China Sea. Everyone tied a string with ropes, and even if a few people were a little worse than their water surname, they would not be washed away by the water.
After the agreement, Huang Zhi and Li Sha, who lacked close combat ability, were responsible for long-range strike and containment, and the remaining seven people, including supernumerary team member Xiao Qi, swam across the water in the water. There are also a few swimmers sent by Zhang He, which is also an outlier in Cao Jun, who is generally a landlubber.
The advantage of the Dream Man is evident here, they can put their weapons in their bags and keep them close to their bodies without affecting their movement in the water, while Cao Jun's water ghosts have to bite the short knives with their mouths.
The distance of tens of meters took people in their dreams for more than ten minutes, mainly because the river was too fast. During this time, the relatively light yellow warbler was almost carried away by the current several times, but fortunately, everyone was tied into a string, and finally dragged her to the shore of Jiangzhongzhou.
The group panted in the shadows on the side of the rickety dock, the swimming just now consumed a lot of physical strength, and even if they went ashore at this moment, I am afraid they would not have much combat effectiveness, which was somewhat beyond the prior estimate. Only Zhang Wei, who had practiced armed swimming in the army, was still full of physical strength, and he realized that he had overestimated the physical strength and military literacy of his teammates, so he reluctantly took out a bottle of pills from his medical bag to supplement his physical strength and distributed it to everyone.
This kind of pill is a hundred points, which seems to be much cheaper than learning skills, but in fact, no team is willing to take it easily. The drug is the most expensive of all consumables, and there are only three or two varieties, either to restore physical strength, or to stop bleeding and build muscle, and the effect is not very good.
If you have to eat a few pills in a war dream, the points earned are not more than taking medicine. Therefore, usually people in dreams will only take medicine to save the emergency in critical situations, so this time the East China Sea team spent nearly 1,000 points, which is really unbearable. If you can't raise an evaluation level through this operation, it will really be worth the loss.
The most important thing is that except for the goods in the mysterious shop in Tianshan Town, almost all the things produced in the towns of the Power Dream Realm are defective products. For example, physical strength potions, in fact, are similar to real-world stimulants and the like, through overdrawing physical strength, the person in the dream can get a temporary appearance of recovering physical strength, and it will only be more exhausted afterwards, so it is useless to eat more.
